"A Graphical User Interface (GUI for short) allows users to interact with the computer hardware in a user friendly way.
Over the years a range of GUI’s have been developed for different operating systems such as OS/2, Macintosh, Windowsamiga, Linux, Symbian OS, and more.
We’ll be taking a look at the evolution of the interface designs of the major operating systems since the 80’s."

it's nice to see all of them in one big timeline. corporations often make their own ones showing their previous guis for comparison, and the new ones always comes out great. but on this site you can see what happened at the same in other designers' brain.
it's interesting to see that win95 was actually a very huge step, and how awesome BeOS could have been.
it's funny how KDE was always a huge step behind win and macOS, and i still can't really understand GNOME's popularity.

That's pretty sweet. Someone should lay it out on a real timeline horizontally...

Makes me happy I was born when I was. But sad to think of what's to come that I won't be experiencing...
